Metro Boomin And Gunna Are Flex-tra Terrestrials In 'Space Cadet' Video

Metro Boomin and Gunna are unlike anyone in this world. It's all in their dress and demeanor. They're from the Andromeda galaxy, originating on a planet where giant fur coats are typical in warm months and being submerged under water for an album cover is typical firm. Their new video for "Space Cadet" lets you know just how they ended up on Earth, but it doesn't reveal what their missions are. Could they be planning a takeover?


The video begins with where the journey started. An audience of alien investigators stare at an old school vehicle that appears earthly, save for two outlandish life forms sprawled across its back. It's a tense scene associated with agents in black with creased eyebrows and shaking lips, holding weapons that don't if they are going to be efficient or not, staring at these peacefully sleeping creatures. They wake up and it's clear that these aliens are Metro Boomin and Gunna who, almost immediately, get interrogated about their purposes. Who are they? Where do they come from? What do they want?


"Space Cadet"'s visual isn't worried about answering those questions. We do, however, get a taste of what the two unidentified strangers like to do for fun. They like dancing with lasers and bright white lights zooming around them. Young Thug, a possible alien also, makes a cameo and suddenly becomes more mystifying than usual. Could he have been on an infiltration mission all this time? Eventually, their main interrogator, soon after studying them, realizes that she can remove her oxygen mask and converse with them freely without fear of contamination, showcasing that maybe these aliens aren't as different from these earthlings that the human beings think they are. Maybe there's a message in there somewhere.


"Space Cadet" appears on Metro Boomin's 2018 album Not All Heroes Wear Capes. In a performance of the track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in February, the producer wore a jacket emblazoned with "FREE 21 SAVAGE" to protest the rapper's detainment by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.


Take a look at the sci-fi video up above. Put on your aluminum thinking cap.
